DRE SSING-SACK.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LILLIAN M. ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Dressing- Sack, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to womens wearing apparel, and its object is to provide a new and improved dressing sack which is simple in construction, ornamental in appearance and easily put on or removed whenever desired. 4

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, which will be more fully described herein after and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying draw ings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both views.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improvement; and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the blank for forming the dressing sack.

The dressing sack, as illustrated in the drawings, is preferably cut from a single piece of suitable fabric material, to form a neck A, split or open at the front, with a view to permit conveniently placing the garment in position on the wearers front portions of the neck downwardly hanging front flaps B, B, and from the sides of the neck A extend sidewise shoulder portions C, C, while the rear of the neck A terminates in the back D, from the sides of Which-extend the tying bands E, E. When the dressing sack is placed in position, the neck A encircles the neck of the wearer,

body. The split A terminate in while the shoulder portions O, C overlie the wearers shoulders, and the front flaps B, B hang down loosely at the front and the back D hangs down loosely at the rear. The user now takes hold of the tying bands E, E and passes the same under the wearers arms to the front and over the front flaps B, B, and then draws the tying bands E, E as tight as desired, to practically close the front split portions of the neck A, and to hold the dressing sack firmly in position. The tying bands E are now tied into a knot, as illustrated in The edges of the various parts of the dressing sack may be trimmed with lace or other material to suit the taste of the user. As the Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed March 16,
